Or, with MW, It is the detection by a screen, photoplate CCD or what ever is place in the background that makes the observers localising themselves in the branches where there the particles is localised, given it the impression that the measurement has reduced the wave function as to appear as being one particle. The SWE implies that the observer just get entangled, and self-multiplied by all possible outcome for the measurement, weighed by the Born rules (deducible from Gleason theorem). Here, you seemed to imply a physical collapse.
